José Vergara Acevedo, 31, remains in a serious condition in Chile today after an elevator in a new building in the Providencia region of the country malfunctioned, crashing into the building’s roof.
Terrifying surveillance footage shows Acevedo enter the lift before it malfunctions and starts its ascent before the doors have closed. The elevator then travels over 30 floors in only 15 seconds while Acevedo desperately tries to stop it using the control panel.
Local news reports state that the elevator crashed into the building’s roof after reaching the 31st floor, leaving the man with head and leg injuries.
